Writes  Gail Appel:

It isn’t a “ theory”. It’s a six plus decades plan in the making.

During a 1958 interview, Aldous  Huxley laid out the entire sequence of events we’ve since experienced to Mike Wallace. Wallace “ humored” Huxley as one often does when dealing with an eccentric child. Huxley was so lost in his train of thought, he ignored Wallace’s hectoring. The most chilling line in the interview was Huxley’s . “ It’s happening much faster than I could have imagined”.

More disturbing still was Huxley’s 1961 BBC interview after “ Brave New World Revisited” was published. “ I think “ Brave New World”  has been used as a playbook”.

The unintended consequences of a brilliant, fantastical mind.
